EW YOR July 31.—It now seems Clear that if Jess Guilford continues at his present pace he will have an excellent chance to win another amateur golf championship. -He is hitting them farther than ever, his approaches are going up to the pin and his putting, always good, seems almost uncanny as the writer recently pointed out. Just as everybody was asking, “Who will stop the rushes to the net of this man Harry Snodgrass?” Along came Gerald Patterson, the Australian, with his terrific service and disposed of the Californian in straight sets. Tilden probably can set Snodgrass down in the same’ matiner and there may be some others who can, but the writer believes the youngster will give most of our tennis stars all the trouble they are ldoking for and more. Who would have thought a year or ‘wo ago that there was any man in this country, much less in a tourney held in Chick Evans’ own section, who could defeat the re- doubtable westerner eight up and seven to play? Manion of St. Louis, who turned this trick in the western amateur, will bear watching. What is the west doing to the east anyway?

(Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) SEABRIGHT, N. J., July 31.— Looking over the doubles teams now participating in the thirty-first annual tournament of the Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket club, the question rises whether doubles play, @s an art and as a popular element of tennis, has declined with the years. Certainly we have no doubles terms today who compare, at least in terms of popularity, with famous partners of past years. Tilden, the champion, seems to make little of doubles and whenever he can he is paired with his youthful protege, Sandy Weiner, He used to pair with Vincent Richards and on form as well as in performance, they probably represent the best doubles tennis that the United States could put forth. But from the standpoint of tactics, at least, they are not so impressive. Williams and Wash: burn, perhaps our best known dovbles team, are fairly good but no more. So with the Kinsey brothers In former times, American play ers made a study of doubles play and this, according to the testimony of Tilden, is something that is not done today. We do not know the game, he says. On the very courts at Seabright where our present stars are disport- ing themselves in singles and doubles have been seen*teams whose names will strike a reminiscent spark within the breasts of the old time tennis enthusiasts who will re- gall the interest with which doubles play was followed, an interest as it seems now, at any rate, hardly less keen than was manifested in singles play.

(United Press rrespondent) NEW YORK, July 31,—(United Press).—Conceived in the most har- monious spirit of friendly inte’ tional athletic rivalry, the Olym Games are surely not going to end in discord.

Na- SOCKING IT HOME By ROSS MIKE GRANT Every season in the big leagues sees the passing of a number of old Umers and their places filled by a crop of youngsters that like bumble- bees, have been filtting from bush to bush. This season is no exception and as the race enters the second half there are about a dozen who, at the end of their trial session, seem safely sitting on big league jobs. ~ It is @ little too early to pick the star of the 1924 rookies but among them is Glenn Wright of Pittsburgh. The youngster has stepped into the spot long made famous by Honus Wagner and is filling it more than acceptably. assigned to a regular position in the nt rookie who has been given a regular assignment With Rabbit Maranville at second to steady him, Wright has vecome a brilliant defensive player and is batting Lew Wilson, the squatty outfielder of the Giants, 298. is batting .364 and He is the only h Wayland Dean, New.

Particularly did they re- sent America’s obvious supremacy, ind this resentment expressed itself n prejudice and partially against our eams. All this, of course, is over now, and there would be no need to bring it up { the question of the advisability of having any more Olympic Games were not being discussed serious As for the effect that the treatment accorded our athletes had upon their showing, they scored more than twice as many points as any other nation—France being second, by the way—and our teams are returning with about all the trophies they can carry. But it would be, indeed, a misfor- tune if the games were to end. It would be a tacit admission that folks of different nationalities just can't got along together. Of course, in the heat of athletic competition, fighting blood is bound to boll a bit and things sald and done in haste that can well be repented in leisure. But it seems, now it can be told by those returning from the battle-fields of Colombes, Argenteull and Les Tour- elles, that much went on behind the scenes that was not dignified by space in cabled dispatches. What is needed to straighten everything out is for the Dutch, if they stage the games of 1928, to see that the finest spirit of international harmony, fair play, and sportsman- ship prevails. The Hague Court has long been famous as a place for arbi tration of international differences; maybe the athletic fields of Armster: dam may be the burying ground of hatchets. . If the United States gets the games, and they are held in Los Angeles, it will be our opportunity to do our part in showing the world the true meaning of hospitality as applied to athletic endeavor. ——<.—_—_—_ SPORT BRIEFS BUTTE, MONT—Dixle La Hood of Butte, Rocky Mountain bantam welg champion, knocked out Billy Mascott, Portland, Oregon, Pacific coast title claimant, in the sixth round of a 12-round bout.

FOSER (Copyright 1 » Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, July 31.—If Burke, the Detroit Tigers’ second baseman, could come thru and bat for the Gob he did for Richmond in 1923, Detrolt’s percentage would rise lke the mercury on a summer day. Burke is one of a pair of Vir- sinia League men who advanced to the big show this season, the other being Wilson, of Portsmouth, who came to the Giants. BOM have made good, but not in every respect, as expected, Wilson led the Virginia. League in batting with a .388 average, All hands agreed he could swat, but some questioned whether he would hot quickly get too fast to play good ball, Burke was fifth in batting in the Virginia League with .346. That was something of a surprise, for when Cobb sent him to Richmond he did not figure on him as a slug- ger. What he did Hke about him was the easy manner in which Burke handled hmself around the bases and the alert way in whelh he picked up everything tn sight. Wilson came into the National League and began to bat around .350, picking up where he had left off in Virgina. Cobb waited a while before he put Burke on second, meanwhile giving Pratt a chance to show what he had. When Burke did get in, he did not start off to hit lke Wilson had, In fact, he has not been with- nm gunshot of ,300. It was Burke's admirable play on second base that put Richmond up in the race last year, but Wilson, with all his good batting, could not Uft Portsmouth out of next to last place. The Detroit infield is batting mither lght. Beke is hobbling around 240, Rigney 1s no better than 285, Jones js shading .300, with .296 and Blue ts just on the .300 mark most of the time, Last year Rigney hit around .315. Blue, who had a bad year, hit around 284. Jones finished the seagon with 250, With both Blue and Jones doing somewhat better, Rigney is the big disappointment of the last year men as he has dropped. However, he has not dropped alarmingly and if Burke could get a little more chipper with his club, the Detroits would carry a bigger punch—and they need all the punch they can get. It is the games that are close and well pitched that bother Detroit most for they can't get that one run that The principals today signod arti. cles of agreement for the match, also kills a tle and wins a game, Burke is fielding his head oft for Detroit, but that isn’t enough to pull them thru. They are at the stage where they must hit and force runs thru, After their successful eastern trip, they need to play some 667 ball on their home grounds. If they do, the chance is open to win the pen- nant. NEW YORK MAY GET BIG FIGHT License for Leonard- Walker Bout Is Promised. By FAIR PLAY (Copyright 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, July 41.—The tip is out that the New York politicians ave won the fight to have the Leo- jard-Walker bout held in the me- tropolis, According to the story, Tex Rickard will be granted a temporary license to hold the show in the Polo Grounds, This would indicate that Rickard has somehow been able to square himself with the Jersey authoritl If he has not, he will certainly be out of luck as he proposes to hold the Firpo-Wills battle over in Jer- sey City and the Jersey men could crimp his plane a whole lot If thi sot angry with Tex. Some lovers of boxing in New York wish that Jersey would keep the fight. It ig a big money bout and where there big money, there is always danger of scandal, As an indication that the fight game is not what it should be fin- anclally this season, the results of the Pancho Villa-Willie Woods 10- round battle in Boston the other night may be cited. Villa, the world’s flyweight chantpion, came to Bos- ton on a $5,000 guarantee and won the decision, But the club lost money on the fight. Luls Vicentini has signed a con- tract to fight Jack Bernstein on Aug- ust 12 and the dope ts that the win- ner will go against Benny Leonard In September.
